Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a severe complication of acute diarrheal diseases; however, there is limited data on post-diarrheal AKI (PD-AKI) epidemiology and outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the clinicodemographic profile and outcomes of PD-AKI in our hospital.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from 93 patients admitted with PD-AKI during a diarrheal illness epidemic.

Rhabdomyolysis is a potentially life-threatening clinical syndrome characterized by the breakdown of skeletal muscle cells and release of creatine kinase (CK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and myoglobin into the plasma and interstitial space. Rhabdomyolysis can occur due to a variety of causes and acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of its most dreaded complications occurring in 33%-50% patients. The main pathophysiology of renal injury is due to vasoconstriction, intraluminal casts, tubular obstruction, and direct myoglobin toxicity.

TLO is a population based algorithm that simulates the teaching-learning mechanism in class rooms, comprising two phases of teaching and learning. The 'Teaching Phase' represents learning from the teacher and 'Learning Phase' indicates learning by the interaction between learners.
